Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixel Pilot 3D at none against MouseBot's 13. Pixel Pilot 3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). MouseBot's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
